Default Pollen

Is there no escaping it this season?? I just washed/polish/waxed my brand new 99 FB yesterday, today there was like a layer of pollen on it that I had to try to brush off.

Anyone figure out a way to escape this besides always parking in a garage? lol =O Or anybody else have experiences like this?

I normally have a few extra car worthy towels or cloths for just such reason I have to park under a tree I get soaked in it.

I would hose it off rather than wipe/dust it off. Seems to me wiping it off may as well be rubbing sand in the paint.

+1. Also, if you have a good coat of wax on it, wouldn't it blow off as you drive?

Yeah then you can have tiger stripes of pollen on your car once you start driving.

I work across the street from where they decided it would be a good idea to start a construction site. So now my once always pristine looking car is CONSTANLY covered in dust. Not just a little layer either, I have deposites of it in all cervices of the car. Then we get the little 5 minute sprinkles of rain to make sure I cant dust it off. I want to go across the street and choke every last one of those workers.
